Freaks and Proud (Animation, Pride and Diversity)
These films celebrate diversity, weirdness and the unusual. A programme that rips off labels and destroys preconceptions!
The Animation, Pride and Diversity theme includes four short film programmes coordinated by Benoit Berthe Siward, founder of The Animation Showcase and co-founder of LGBTQ+ in Animation. These programmes offer a diversity of insights on recent production.
"This theme has become a topical issue, especially for young filmmakers, many of whom tackle issues related to gender and diversity every year."
Marcel Jean
Queer individuals have often been labelled as freaks, monsters, mutants, even ghosts who haunt society. This section of films takes these often pejorative labels and deconstructs them. The films show "queer" in all its diversity and open their arms to the weirdness and strangeness.
